PDF tools that never
touch a server
Open a tool, drop your file, and grab the result. Everything runs locally in your browser — your documents stay on your device, period.
Why PDFHarbor?
We keep things simple and private.
Your files stay on your device
Nothing leaves your browser. We don't see, store, or process your documents on any server.
Works without internet
Once the page loads, most tools keep working even if you go offline.
No signups, no paywalls
Pick a tool, use it, done. There's no account wall or "upgrade to Pro" prompt.
No tracking on your files
We don't log file names, contents, or any extracted text. Your stuff is yours.
How it works
Pick a tool & drop your file
Choose what you need and drag your PDF or image in.
It processes right here
Your browser does the work. Nothing gets uploaded anywhere.
Download & you're done
Save the result straight to your device. That's the whole flow.
Tools
Everything you need in one place.
Basic OCR
Pull text out of scanned PDFs — works right in your browser.
Split PDF
Break a PDF into parts by page range or individual pages.
Edit PDF Pages
Rearrange, rotate, or remove pages before saving.
PDF Metadata
Check and strip metadata before sharing a file.
Merge PDF
Drag PDFs in order and combine them into one file.
Image to PDF
Turn photos or scans into a single, shareable PDF.
Compress Image
Shrink image files for the web without killing quality.
Privacy baked in, not bolted on
PDFHarbor doesn't have a file processing server. There's no upload endpoint, no conversion queue, no temporary storage. Your browser handles everything from start to finish.
Zero uploads
Files never leave your machine. We physically can't access them.
Offline-capable
Most tools keep working after the initial page load, even without Wi-Fi.
No file logs
We don't record file names, contents, or OCR results. Nothing. Nada.
